Reviews & Research

CNET Editors' reviewGood

  • THE GOOD

    The Motorola W490 has a simple design with a solid range of features including Bluetooth, voice commands, and a speakerphone.

  • THE BAD

    The Motorola W490 has a poor camera with shoddy photo quality. Its internal memory was rather low, and voice quality sometimes sounded tinny.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    The Motorola W490 is a practical phone for making calls; just don't count on its camera to be of much use.

Great phone

This is a great phone.

Pros:
Like the design and functionality. Nice bright and crisp LCD screen. Good reception and excellent call quality. Haven't dropped a single call so far. Takes Micro SD cards and can be connected to PC for data transfer whiteout a problems. Plays MP3 ring tones and Java applications and games. Long Battery life. The whole phone feels very solid and well built. Great value.

Cons:
Ring tones could be louder. In a loud room I have missed a few calls..
Not very fast (But I'm not into texting so I don't mind that). I was a little disappointed with the camera - probably expected too much from 1.3 mega pixels.

Conclusion:
I have several Motorola phone, this has become my favorite.

Motorola W490 Opinion

I found Motorola's new W490, to be everything I've looked for in a small form factor. it is simplicity in a very functional package that is easy to use, looks tremendously expensive, yet easy on the pocketbook.
Motorola has outdone itself with this cellphone with its SD memory slot, 1.3 Megapixal/8x zoom camera system, MP3 player and video movie system built into it.
In my line of work with construction, the phone is easy to use via it's built in bluetooth connection. It's slim enough to tuck away in a case or place into my pocket and go about my work all day without having to pick it up with work gloves. But best of all...it's easy to program via the built in settings menu.
For those who are looking for a slim yet sturdy cellphone that is simple to use yet has more features then most people would think of ever using, I suggest giving the new W490 a first, second and even a third look....before buying. Eveytime you look at it, you find something new and exciting about it.

We are pleased

My son is very happy with his new phone. He'd had several others by a different manufacturer and all had the same issues within a very short period of time after receiving them. I've carried Motorola equipment for years and swear by their product. We looked for hours and finally settled on this one. The price was great and he is very please with the quality of service this product is giving him. Yeah Ebay!

Great Phone!

I love this phone. I may seem biased because I am a Motorola fan,but this phone is cool. It's slightly thicker than a Razr but makes it good for gripping it tight, and it's slimmer than the razr so it's compact.

It comes with tons of cool features, has a bright screen, and you can even save money on downloads thanks to the memory card slot. It can hook up to your computer and had bluetooth capabilities.

The music player is cool too, but I don't really like it all like that because you can't do anything else while you are listening to music, just listen to music.

I also LOVE the voice operating system it has. I didn't have to train it whatsoever, and it works fine! Great phone!

really nice phone!! i got a black one also. love it!!!!

i love the purple color. and the fact that it's not as wide as the razr. i like the fact i can set a song from the sd card and copy to phone and use as ringtone. (of course i tend to take longer to answer just to hear the song!) the pictures look clear. i took pictures of the pages of an old calender i really liked and set as wallpaper to fit my mood. good reception. i like the phone so much i got another one in black, and also bid on some green ones. the green color is really cool also. phone is my faves capable. i also have the razr and the pebl ..and the one thing i don't like is that when any of these phones are in the case on my jeans pocket, i have a hard time hearing them ring. wish motorola could make the volume a little louder. but this is minor, the pros definately outweigh the ring volume issue. great little phone.
